    I haven't posted here in a while, I've decided to share my little 20 minute project I made yesterday when I was bored. I essentially took a little USB stick with the action replay drivers and put it into the shell of an old Xbox Microphone adapter. Due to my extreme boredom I also added in an activity light with a plastic mounted window to allow the light to come through. Now instead of using my ugly USB adapter I can just plug this bad boy in when I need to softmod an xbox.

    Nice- Thats exactly what this used to be until I needed the female Usb for other projects. Yours is a lot cleaner than mine though

    I've since made several others and sold them here. The current one I have for myself has the plastic on the end molded around the USB port so it looks almost factory.

    That sounds nice, did you just heat up the USB port and let the plastic melt around it?

    I actually melted the plastic around the port then smoothed it with a sanding block. I had to add extra plastic in but I have plenty of scraps laying around that seem close enough to the Xbox plastic shade. To melt it I used a soldering iron. Messy and smokey but I was working in a well ventilated area. I will try to take a picture of it sometime if I can get a clear enough image. Camera doesn't have macro mode...

    EDIT: Here's some craptastic pictures. you can kinda see what I mean by shaped to fit the port.

    Mine or his? I do sell these if there's any interest. I just need to build up a stock now should more interest be shown.

    Depends. It will be cheaper if I find a good deal for memory cards on FleaBay. PM me with address details so I can figure total cost if you want me to make one.

    This is a thing of utter beauty, and I am very interested in purchasing one.

    I feel compelled to take an air compressor to your entire house because of all the dust you have.
